Meat

[Guest guest]

Hmmm...I'm not convinced some people don't need meat in their diet. I do

agree that the way mass meat is farmed these days is bad for us - very bad.

Farming has become a big business and the use of steroids and drugs is way

out of control, I feel. But, man has always eaten meat and there are certain

aspects of meat that our systems need which is why vegans supplement their

diet with various vitamins and minerals or they can become quite poorly.

I am no doctor, but I have found that eating healthily is only part of the

issue. Eating happily is also important. If a person feels they need to eat

meat, then they should also feel free to eat it and no-one should try and

convince them otherwise. Advise them to eat healthier meat, by all means,

but to tell them eating meat is wrong either for health or religious reasons

is arrogant.

Likewise, if someone doesn't not want to eat meat for whatever reasons -

medical, religious etc - they should be allowed to do so without being

attacked for it. It's all about mutual respect. We all have our beliefs and

our choices - I think that is what is meant by a free world - and I think

most people on this list understand the dangers of eating farmed meat (the

stuff full of anti-biotics and steroids) but that is still worth discussing

for those who don't already know and to keep abreast of latest developments.

I rarely eat meat - only when I feel the need to eat it - and that is by

choice. I like having the choice. I like to know I can eat what I want to

eat if I choose to - it avoids stress which is the biggest killer of all

these days.
